16. Were there any parts of the course that were excellent? If so, please specify which parts and in what way.

Were there any parts of the course that were excellent? If so, please specify which parts and in what way.
Yes. Part on merging and appending. It was explained very well.
Engaging lectures and helpful labs!
the practical sessions were very helpful
Nice ambience
The presentations with the opportunity to try the coding directly, and discuss possible errors that occur

17. Do you have any recommendations as to how the course could be improved? If so, please specify which parts and how.

Do you have any recommendations as to how the course could be improved? If so, please specify which parts and how.
Maybe we could have more basic contents in the class.The course is short, and during each lecture, we could add more contents.
If the labs could take 2 full days, instead of being afternoon sessions when students are somewhat exhausted after the morning 'marathon'.
make it longer with more assignment
- More practical in the mornings. Teach - try- exercice -stop. - More focused teaching. It is very nice when lectures do philosphy, but this was sometimes too much. Though nice, I became stressed not to move forward. - More focused on the students' level. For most of us the syntax-thing is whats unique and new with stata. Long syntaxes - all are gone. Go carefully. Easy syntax (few letters) - go quickly
Not really, the course is good as it is
